' “The liberal convention on Wednesday made s declaration on war with respect to the part which Canada would play, which was satisfactory and explicit. The resolution went on to set out in detail the domestic war pol~ icy which should accompany vigorous prosecution of war. Wiith these recommendations the people of the west will be in entire sympathy. The whole declaration, as far as it goes, is admirable, but lt falls short of what should have been its glory and crown. Lit should hav included a dual para graph, declaring the willingness oi' the convention to co-operate with all ether' elements favorable to winning the war and the formation oi' an im- -mediate National non-partizan government for the ‘balance oi’ the war. _ “A National government after an election, as suggested by, the convention is a proposition to turn the hose on the ashes after the ‘house has burned down. “Fallirrg LL declaration for :L National government. ii' the convention lrall chosen tt western ie-rider, whose clraracter and standing would be n guarurr tee that thc rc-solution was not mere vcrbiage and would be translutcrl into political action, the _situation would not he so Lrrrsatls|`actory.

That the peoplt- ot`.Quolroc should desire Sir Will`rid‘s return to oiiice, to put his and their views into ctiect, is natural- they have Lt right to put hiln thcre if they ran.
